"When we asked him why he wanted to join, he replied in all seriousness that it was to 'save the world.'"
"I suspect there may be some secret involved, so I am reporting this to you and awaiting your order."
A few minutes later, an endless gray fog appeared in front of Audrey's eyes. Mr. Fool sat high on the bronze chair and said in a calm tone: "You can tell him my three-part prayer."
"I understand, Mr. Fool."
Audrey then returned to the room and told them what Mr. Fool meant.
"It seems that this vampire may really be hiding some secrets." Fors exclaimed. She had come here tonight to support Miss Death, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing suddenly, and she might also witness the appearance of the next new member.
On the other side, seeing that Miss D had been in for a while, Emlyn became more and more restless. At this time, the door was pushed open and Miss D walked out:
"Mr. Emlyn."
"!!!"
Emlyn's heartbeat paused, and all the muscles in his body tensed up at once: How could she know who I was?
"On this piece of paper is the information of the organization you want to find. Recite it in Hermetic language and you will have a chance to join it."
"ah?"
Emlyn took the note and glanced at it, his eyes twitching slightly: Is this the three-part form for praying to the gods?
So, the organization that uses tarot cards as its symbol is an organization that worships evil gods? !
So, the ancestor asked me to join an evil god organization?
I'm dying. I'm dying.
I'm really going to die this time.
...
In the Governor's Mansion of Bayam.
Two days had passed since the battle that involved multiple High-Sequence Experts and razed an entire primeval forest and beach to the ground.
Fortunately, the battle was far enough away from Bayam that it did not cause any damage to the city, but the natural disaster caused by the witch still caused a lot of disaster and casualties.
Klein had no choice but to actively organize the rescue in the identity of Admiral Amyrius.
Besides, he suddenly discovered that Amyrius' mistress had disappeared since that night.
It was as if it had evaporated into thin air, leaving no trace at all.
Oh, I don't know how the admiral will react when he comes back and suddenly learns about this. Will he take his anger out on me?
But if I just walk away, wouldn't I be the one taking the blame?
So Klein had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to stay in the Governor's Mansion and continue to play the role of Amyrius.
At this time, he heard the voice of a girl praying. He could tell it was Miss Justice without going above the gray fog. He stood up and walked into the bathroom, then took four steps backwards and came to the top of the gray fog.
"Mr. Fool, I have something to report to you. Just now we…"
Audrey's prayer surprised Klein. "Emlyn?"
He was impressed by this vampire who liked to correct others and call himself a "vampire". After all, it was he who sold him several key materials for his promotion to a Faceless Man.
Frankly speaking, Klein had a good impression of him, and Edward had introduced him to him, so after a brief thought, Klein decided to "meet" this vampire and see what his so-called "saving the doomsday" was all about.
"Oh, if he is really brave enough to pray to me tonight and gives me enough reasons to recruit him, then we will have another new member in tomorrow's Tarot Club."
...
1160 years of time and space.
The capital of Intis, Trier.
Edward felt groggy when he woke up.
Last night, he didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning with the help of the water of life and death. There was no other way, as soon as he closed his eyes, the faces of Audrey and Lilith would appear in his mind, bringing him a strong sense of loneliness.
Edward sat there for a while, shook his head and sighed: "The power of the three blasphemous cards has expired last night? Next, before I learn the Elvish language, I need to 'run naked' for a while.,w′u+x?i¢a+n+g′l`i-.,c¢o!m`"
Although he had prepared himself mentally when determining the time of the time travel, he still inevitably felt some insecurity.
Compared to the last time in the God-forsaken Land, when I still had Bernadette protecting me, now in this time and space... I am the only one who can bully Bernadette!
What's worse is that in this strange time and space, he can't find anyone to record extraordinary abilities.
After eating a breakfast of this era, Edward finally understood why Roselle complained in his diary that he couldn't stand it. It was a pity that Emperor Roselle invented so many things but didn't bring Chinese food to this world.
I don't know if he doesn't know how to cook, or he didn't find the right seasoning, or he's just plain lazy.
After spending five copper coins to buy a copy of the Trier Morning News, he learned the exact time: Monday, March 15, 1160.
Most of the article above still talks about some gossip about the nobles, a small part mentions some of Roselle's inventions, and very little is mentioned about political matters.
"Huh?"
When I turned to the middle page of the newspaper, I saw a reward notice:
The great son of steam, Russell Gustav, has created a new mascot and is soliciting names from the public. Once accepted, the winner will receive a reward of 100 Fel Gold.
100 Felkin?
Is the amount of this reward too small?
——Indeed, for most ordinary people, this is definitely a considerable fortune!
But for today's Son of Steam, it seems too petty.
Edward looked down and saw the picture of the so-called mascot, which was a fat blue cat without ears.
"Doraemon?"
What does Russell want to do?
Why did they create a campaign specifically to promote the image of the blue fat man and advertise their next invention? But with so many excellent works in the past, why did they launch a Doraemon that is out of tune with the current era?
Edward pinched his chin and thought:
There must be something wrong with this bounty. Could it be that someone is impersonating Roselle? The chances are too small. Considering Roselle's identity as the "Son of Steam", publicly impersonating him in a Trier newspaper is really courting death.
But according to Russell's working style, if he really wanted to organize such an event involving the whole nation, he would definitely spend a lot of money and put it in the most prominent position on the front page.
"…Is this thing aimed at me?"
Yesterday, Bernadette finally told Roselle about meeting me, and then... Roselle guessed that I was another time traveler?
But...why?
What is the connection here?
It can't be because of my Chinese face with black hair and black eyes, right? But the appearance of people in the mysterious world is not all purely Western. There are obviously many people with black hair, brown hair and brown eyes.
Edward closed the newspaper and thought for a moment. "Forget it, I'll just go ask Bernadette again."
...
The Russell family villa.
"ah!!!"
Little Bernadette woke up from her sleep with a scream and touched her nose in panic: "I'm not lying, I'm not lying! Don't let your nose get longer! Don't!"
After a while, she made sure her nose hadn't gotten any longer, then she let out a long sigh, "Huh - luckily it was just a dream."
At this time, mother Matilda walked in quickly, sat down at the head of the bed and asked with concern: "What's wrong, baby?"
"It's okay, Mom. I just had a nightmare."
"What nightmare?"
"Hmm…"
Bernadette hesitated, "I lied... and then my nose grew longer and longer..." She spread her arms and gestured, "It's longer than our villa."
"Then why did you lie?"
"I...I didn't lie?"
"You didn't lie, how could your father know..." Matilda suddenly smiled coldly, her face suddenly twisted, she moved closer little by little, and turned into Edward's appearance, "I was here yesterday?"
"!!!"
Bernadette's pupils suddenly lost focus, and it took more than ten seconds before she suddenly jumped back and screamed: "Ah!!!"
Chapter 455: Meet Medici Again
Unfortunately, her screams did not attract anyone.
Bernadette soon realized this, covered her mouth in fear, and said hurriedly: "I really, really didn't tell Dad. Dad guessed it himself."
She panickedly recounted what happened last night. Edward's face looked strange after hearing her story. This was the problem.
In the future, the fairy tales "created" by Russell, such as "Snow White" and "The Adventures of Pinocchio", were compiled into the Russell Fairy Tales Collection and widely circulated.
However, they did not expect that at this time, these fairy tales have not been published yet, and only the three of them know about them.
So when a man suddenly appeared at this time and took out a Pinocchio doll that shouldn't exist in this world, it was normal for Roselle to be suspicious, so he posted a reward notice for Doraemon in the newspaper the next day.
The purpose is to let the suspected time traveler see and find him without causing too much noise.
No, that's not the logic.
After all, Russell has been "creating" for many years. If there really are other time travelers, who can't see his identity?
So this is more like an invitation:
"I know you exist, come find me now."
Edward shook his head. This was really beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that he would be exposed on the second day (the first day to be exact) after arriving in this era.
So, the senior time traveler mentioned in Roselle's diary who is still alive...
Is it really me?
Somehow, another closed loop was completed.
Edward was thinking, while Bernadette curled up her body, looking pitiful, weak and helpless. She muttered in her heart that her father was too unreliable. Someone had sneaked into the house twice, and he hadn't even discovered it until now.
Just as she was thinking, Edward suddenly looked over, and she quickly put on a well-behaved look.
Then he took out a puppet with a fish tail on the lower body, sitting on the reef and singing with its mouth open, and handed it to me.
"Hey, the little mermaid!"
This iconic shape and design made Bernadette recognize the identity of the doll at once.
"Bernadette, you were very honest and kept your promise to me. You didn't take the initiative to leak my information to others. This is a gift for you."
She nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Okay, okay! I will never leak it even without a gift!" Although she said this, she was thinking: "This person is too stingy! This kind of doll dad can have someone make dozens of them for me in a few minutes, and he wants to bribe me with this?"
Edward saw her thoughts and smiled: "She is not just a simple little mermaid doll. As long as you want, the little mermaid will really appear."
"How is it possible…Ah!"
Her eyes suddenly widened and she found herself on the beach of a small island. A beautiful little mermaid with red hair was sitting on a reef not far away, singing melodiously.
As if sensing Bernadette's gaze, the little mermaid looked over, waved at her with a smile, and then dived into the sea.
"Ah, she's gone."
As soon as she finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared on the sea in front of her. A few seconds later, the little mermaid came out with a splash, holding her chin with both hands, looking at Bernadette with her watery eyes.
Bernadette tried to stretch out her finger towards her, and the little mermaid did the same - the two white little hands touched each other.
The next moment, the island, the sea, and the mermaid all disappeared. Bernadette returned to her room. She looked around and asked, "Where is the little mermaid?"
She then looked at the doll in surprise: "Is it because of this doll that I was able to see the Little Mermaid just now?"
"What do you think?"
"So, if you want to see the Little Mermaid again... or more fairy tale characters, you know what to do, right?"
Edward smiled. "Also, you must keep this little mermaid safe. If anyone else sees it, it will turn into foam and disappear just like her ending in the story.'WeChat^fun,xiao?tax' \has-published`Zui!xin-zhang\conclusion-"
After saying this, Edward's figure gradually faded away.
Bernadette asked hurriedly, "As long as I continue to help you keep the secret, will you still give me gifts?"
"you guess."
His voice became vague and ethereal, and gradually faded away.
"Boom boom boom."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Bernadette, it's time for breakfast."
It's mother's voice.
Bernadette was about to respond when she suddenly thought of the horrifying scene just now and shuddered.
She looked down at the exquisite little mermaid doll in her hand and muttered softly, "This person... must be a friend of Dad's. Otherwise, how could she know those fairy tales and make a doll for me in advance?"
"But...what if it's not?"
"Bernadette?"
At this time, Matilda pushed the door open and Bernadette hurriedly took the doll and shrank back into the quilt, then rubbed her eyes as if she had just woken up: "Good morning, Mom."
...
After leaving the Roselle house, Edward teleported to Backlund.
Through last night's analysis, Edward had two urgent tasks to do. The first was to digest the potion and advance to a higher sequence as much as possible. The second was to find Lilith of this era.
Now there is someone who knows exactly where he is and can meet both conditions:
Medici three in one.
Backlund, at the border of the West Side and Queens, 8 Williams Street.
Two hundred years ago today, this house seemed to look almost the same as it would in the future. The name of the street and the house number had not changed.
At this time, the old house should still be inhabited by the Pound family and be under the surveillance of the Loen royal family and the church.
Edward teleported directly into the underground palace. He transformed several lanterns that floated in the air, lighting up the dark palace.
Everything here is no different from the future two hundred years later.
As soon as he arrived at the last door, a strong malice attacked from all directions, and a weak force was trying to erode Edward's body.
He immediately reached out and stole the malice - he was amazed in his heart, it was worthy of being a Sequence 4 [Stealer], he could even steal something like malice.
But the next second, the entire underground palace shook slightly, and thick smoke poured out from all directions, which was enough to show how angry the sealed Medici Triad was.
After a long time, the dust settled and a sentence was quickly formed:
"Little crow, how did you find this place?"
Little crow?
Edward was stunned. Did Medici mistake me for Amon?
Quite interesting.
He said calmly: "Who is the little crow?"
The dust on the ground shook again, forming another line of words:
"Don't act like a little crow. Tell me, why did you come to me? If you can let me go, I can forgive you for what you did before."
Edward shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm really not the little crow you mentioned. I'm just a passerby who happened to pass by and happened to find you sealed here."
Medici seemed to fall into silence, and after a moment he "spoke" again:
"Whether you are a little crow or not, let me out and I can grant you one wish."
"Can I wish for anything?"
"Anything is fine!"
Edward pinched his chin and thought for a moment, "I want to find someone."
"who?"
"Lilith."
Medici: "The ancestor of vampires? He died a long time ago. What are you looking for him for?"
"It's another Lilith."
"…"
Medici was silent again, and the underground palace shook again. The letters formed by the dust looked a little distorted:
"Little crow! Are you kidding me?!"
Huh?
Why would Medici think that I... Amon was playing a trick on Him?
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't quite understand what you are saying."
"I don't care what tricks you want to play. Just unseal me and let me out. I'll play with you slowly! Or are you, little crow, so scared of me that you only dare to play tricks on me like this?"
Edward frowned. "First of all, I'm really not the little crow you mentioned. Secondly, I don't know why you are so angry all of a sudden. Finally, I just want to know the news about Lilith."
"She's dead!"
The words on the ground became more and more distorted. "Have you forgotten? She was killed by you, Adam and Chick together!"
"!!!"
Edward's heart skipped a beat and he unconsciously took a step back: Lilith is dead?
Lilith was killed by Amon Adam and Chike?
Why?
how so...
What happened in the past that caused Lilith to be killed by several angel kings and a true God?
So Lilith...
No, no!
If Lilith is dead, who is the girl who appears in the future?
Judging from her relationship with Chick and the last words she left me, she... is clearly Lilith!
So, it is possible that Medici mistakenly believed that Lilith was dead?
So, what is his relationship with Lilith, and why is he so angry about Lilith's "death"?
"When did Lilith die?"
Edward asked again.
After a while, the dust formed a sentence again:
"You...are really not that little crow?"
"Really? There are so many people who steal the Path. You can't conclude that I am Amon just because I used the [Steal] ability, right?"
The dust on the ground danced, as if laughing. "Apart from those cowardly guys in Jacob's family who hide here and there, how could there be thieves and demigods other than Amon in this world?"
After a pause, He continued, "I only mentioned the little crow, but you knew I was talking about Amon. If you are not Him, I am really curious about your identity. Are you one of our 'old friends' pretending to be us?"
"You can take a guess."
"Guess your ancestors!"
Why are you cursing in the streets?
"When did Lilith die?"
"When Chick ascended to godhood, I have long forgotten the exact time."
"You saw her die?"
"Yes! If she doesn't die, Chike won't be able to ascend to godhood."
Edward was stunned. "Why?"
"You can take a guess."
"…"
